March Monkeys 2016: 21 boys and 15 girls born

[jbell157]

Ladies there are two great, free, pregnancy apps if you're looking for one. What to expect and babybump

Speaking of the banners I think someone that wanted to be team this time asked how to get the code in their signature? I completely forgot to answer that question earlier, sorry!

To get the team yellow banner in your signature, copy this code:

[IMG ]https://i62.tinypic.com/x2jdvs.jpg[ /IMG]

Don't forget when you paste the link into your signature to gid rid of the space between the [IMG and the ] and the space between the [ and the /IMG]

Once you get rid of the spaces and preview or save your signature, it should look like this in your signature:

https://i62.tinypic.com/x2jdvs.jpg

If you want to create a link to the March Monkeys 2016 thread when people click on the banner, copy and paste this code into your signature:

[url="https://babyandbump.momtastic.com/pregnancy-groups/2321007-march-monkeys-2016-a.html" ][img ]https://i62.tinypic.com/x2jdvs.jpg[/img][ /url]

Again, make sure to get rid of the spaces between the .html" and the ], the [img and the ], and the [ and the /url]

Hi ladies,

Huge congrats on your BFPs! Hope you all have amazing pregnancies. I'm so hoping to find out I'll be joining you in a few days (though my due date will be borderline, may be due in April too). I love messing around with illustrator and recently used loads of monkey vectors for work (teacher), so I made this and though I see you have a lovely group pic already, I thought I'd offer it up anyway! Hope I'm not treading on any toes, just was bored and wanted to use the monkey vectors so they weren't wasted. Trying to find other uses for my TWW other than obsessing over made up symptoms

Hope to join you properly at the end of the week!

Hey there! I hope that you get your so that you can join us there in the thread. We have no problem with anyone making banners, creativity is a wonderful thing and I think it's lovely that we will have so many options to choose from so that we can all pick the banners that we each prefer the most rather than all being stuck with one style.

Also for whatever reason it wouldn't let me post this in my last message but this is what the link banner should look like in your signature once you've gotten rid of the spaces and choose to preview or save your signature. Feel free to click on the banner to see how it works.

I haven't decided when we'll tell people this time.
My two daughters we told family about right away and extended family and friends before 8 weeks and then made it Facebook official at 8 weeks. With my mmc we dint tell parents until 8 weeks and found out 2 1/2 weeks later baby was already gone when we told them. We ended up talking about our loss to only a very select few people. Same with my third consecutive mc. My fourth only my naturopath knew I was pregnant, and no one knew about the second one until recently when I went public on Facebook on my first would be due date.

So I've experienced everything but sharing good news later in pregnancy. And I really do enjoy having a secret no one else knows so I think I will wait to tell people once again. My family is very understanding of our decision not to share news with them immediately, and with my history I want to share news that will be received with excitement instead of reservation like the last pregnancy they knew about when I was still pregnant.
So ya I think I'm decided on waiting to tell.

Super cute banner squirrel.

 

[KalonKiki]

I'm really sorry about your losses NDH, I really hope that this is your rainbow.

Managed to get around to making some more banners. Now there are three different (but of course still similar) banners for each team.

Has anyone ever done the intelligender with any of your other pregnancies? Was it right? We are planning on doing that once we get to 10 weeks, I think it is?

Nope, I didn't use anything like that with DS because from what I've seen based on experiments it isn't very accurate. If the brand you're talking about is the one I'm thinking of it's generally more correct about girl predictions than it is about boy predictions. I honestly don't think it's worth the money, I'd rather spend a bit more and get a 3D ultrasound at 16 weeks that's going to tell me what I'm having for sure.

That's what I heard as well lol. But it was right for my best friend and her 3 pregnancies, so I'm not sure. I want to try it!
Anyone have an absolute "gut" feeling of the gender? I think I'm having a boy. My intuition was right with DD so we will see if it's right this time lol. DH thinks it's another girl. But he also thought DD was a boy (or so he hoped)

I only had the 3D ultrasound at 30 weeks, I want to do it sooner this time! I also watched your pregnancy vlogs Keely, you're too cute! I'm too chicken to do vlogs lol.

I think there were a few of us that liked the name Lillyanna, but if I were to use it I would spell it Lilyanna.

I got around to making some bump team banners! I really hope that you all like them, I've been working on them for a few hours now.

Good Morning!

I am so excited now. Seeing the digital change was kind of a big turning point for me, I'm going to allow myself to believe that this one may just work out

Congratulations

 

[BellaRosa8302]

How is everyone doing?!?

AFM, more symptoms are coming on. Nauseous at least at one point daily. Boobs are VERY sore! Cramping has lessened a little bit, but still there (super weak) when I wake up usually. I'm an emotional roller coaster! I've cried over the silliest things that just make DH laugh. Oh, and pregnancy brain is in full swing! DD asked for more apple juice in her sippy. I took off the lid, went into the fridge, pulled out our dog's bacon treats, took one out of the package, & was about to put it into the sippy when I realized what I was doing!

 

[Pato]

Lol...I know what u mean....yesterday I couldn't remember any body's names...

Question ladies....have any of you had any spotting early on? I had a small speck on tp this morning and was freaked out...haven't had any since but still uneasy. I'm running to the bathroom every minute checking...

 

[NDH]

Yesterdays test at 16dpo! (Or 14 or 15, not sure when I ovulated but I know I can't be more than 17dpo today based on the only time we DTD)

I've never had spotting with pregnancy (though I'm sure there is still plenty of time to experience some with this one) but a little spotting in early pregnancy is completely normal. Especially if it was only a small speck you have nothing to worry about.

Those are great lines, NDH!

 

[mewolkens]

I had some ovulation/implantation bleeding from 3dpo-9dpo. I happened to go in for my annual and the doctor shrugged and said it was totally normal before we knew that I was pregnant and I haven't seen so much as a smudge since. I just thought it was AF coming around early, but when it went away, that's when I knew I should test.

 

[littlelily]

Hi ladies, try not to worry about spotting, totally normal in small amounts I hear.

Just wanted to say that today I'm a sweetpea! Yay!!!

 

[SilasLove]

Okay, so does anyone have one breast that hurts more than the other? Like my left breast feels like it is practically on fire and my right is only a little sore.

Otherwise, nausea here and there for me. Sometimes its more acid reflux than nausea. I'm sleeping a lot but I have also worked 40 hrs in 4 days lol. (56 hr week )

I have been really emotional and irritable. I hate myself sometimes and have a short fuse with the kids at times. :/
